If you are the "do it yourself'er" type (like me) and don't like to have an app CONSTANTLY drinking your battery it's a real easy edit. You just need to know how to decompile and recompile framework-res.apk.

Once decompiled navigate to \framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml (stock values below)

Code:
    <integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOn">1000</integer>
    <integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">9000</integer>

These are the values I edit mine at (it's a nice consistent pulse that catches the eye)

Code:
    <integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOn">1750</integer>
    <integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">2400</integer>
I could give 2 s4its about the color for a specific notification and don't want an app drinkin' my battery on a daily basis. Just like on ye ole galaxy nexus the stock 9 sec pulse rate isn't fast enough for me.


good day.
